Listening to Liming's babbling a lot, Yang Zhen, who somewhat understood his thoughts, couldn't help frowning and said, "I still know what kind of cargo this kind of plane is. Can it deal with the Zero and Type 1 fighters, these two new Japanese aircraft, as well as the newer fighters of the Japanese army that will appear in the near future. I don't know as much as you do, but I'm not too bad. ”

"Although we live in a relatively closed environment, there are very few opportunities to interact with the outside world. However, I still have a certain understanding of the current trend in the development of the world's air force. At least I, the number one, must master the development of the world's military theory and the updating of armaments, otherwise I, as the commander, will not be qualified. ”

"I promised to receive these planes, just for emergency purposes, to temporarily fill the defense gap due to the heavy battle damage in this battle. As for whether this kind of aircraft will be used as the main force in the future, I am not so confused as to take the lives and blood of my subordinates to pay off the debts of the United States and Britain. ”

"I'm wondering right now, what your idea is when he started preparing in advance. You don't have to say so much foreshadowing, just say what you really think? Aren't you talking all this just to lure me out of the hole? ”

Yang Zhen's words made Liming look a little embarrassed. He said a lot of things before, just to pave the way for the commanders behind him and his own ideas, because they knew that at this time, it was not easy to realize this alternative plan, even if it was a part.

As a result, I was engaged in a long time, and I was very clear about these things. The words I said before were basically in vain. However, if you think about it in other words, since the establishment of the Air Force, almost all combat aircraft have been personally acquired by No. 1.

If he didn't know a lot about the performance of the aircraft, he would not have brought in so many American-made fighters that were much more advanced than the Soviet-made aircraft at that time. You must know that the Soviets promised to give them a batch of I-15 and I-16 fighters for nothing, but No. 1 insisted on not asking for these two kinds of equipment that could no longer keep up with the trend.

Rather than risk dragging down the base area at that time. More fragile economic danger, loans to buy a number of more advanced American-made fighter jets. As a result, before these two types of the latest Japanese fighters were put into the battlefield, the aviation equipment of the Anti-Japanese Union was basically ahead of the Japanese army.

Since No. 1 has long had this idea and understood the current situation of aviation development, there is nothing to hesitate Dawn, so he simply went straight to the point and said: "No. 1, the commander and I mean that it is difficult to negotiate with the United States and Britain, and the United States and Britain have always placed our assistance in a second-rate position. Can we negotiate with the Soviet Union and find a way to get a batch of fighters with better performance from the Soviet Union? ”

"Compared with American-made fighters, which pay more attention to airborne equipment, relatively balanced performance in all aspects, and range and other issues. Although the workmanship of the Soviet-made fighter is a little rougher, the service life is also very short due to the limitations of the process. However, the ability to fight in the air is not much worse, and it is even better than that of American-made fighters. ”

"According to our intelligence, the Soviet aircraft factories that have now completed the eastward relocation are seizing the time to produce two new fighters. Although we don't know exactly how well it performs. But judging from the limited intelligence, one of the pull fighters has quite good fighting performance. ”

"This kind of aircraft can effectively compete with the latest German aircraft on the Soviet-German battlefield. We would like to report back to you and see if we can communicate with the Soviet side and find a way to get some of these aircraft. Even if we use the American-made fighters we are equipped with now, it is good to exchange a batch. ”

"One, it's not that we're in a hurry. However, although the basic performance of this British aircraft is not bad, the maintenance is simple, and the fuselage is also strong, it is also a backward model after all. Dealing with the most basic models of Zero War and One Style is already extremely difficult, and it is even possible to suffer a big loss. If the Japanese army invests in newer models, even if it is an improved version of these two fighters, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to support. ”

"The Japanese have a strong aviation industry, and they can always develop better fighters quickly. But we can't, we can only ask for what people give. In the current situation, we have to think about taking precautions. You may have to suffer some losses now, but it's better than being caught off guard by then. ”

"We also know that we are only now in a bit of a thaw with the Soviet side. At this time, it is very difficult to get the latest fighter of the Soviet army. In particular, the Soviet army itself also wants a large number of aircraft, and it is difficult to promise us those old fighters. ”

"But One, judging by the outcome of the Zero-War vs. Hurricane confrontation, I really hope you can help us figure it out. Judging from the Japanese Army's latest Type 1 fighter, judging from its performance in the Southeast Asian theater alone, this Hurricane fighter can only be said to be barely a stand. ”

"Whether the tactics used by the British in air combat were right or wrong, but I think if the planes were about the same in performance. The tactics are not used correctly, but they are not so powerless that they are not able to fight back. This result shows that this aircraft is really too far behind, and even if it can barely compete through tactical use, the price is quite large. ”

"Once the Japanese army puts in new fighters, our existing aircraft will be even more incapable of fighting. Moreover, the Japanese Army Aviation has fought with this Hurricane fighter more than once on the battlefield in Southeast Asia. They should already have a fairly good understanding of the performance of this fighter. This made it even more difficult for us to confront the Japanese air force in air combat. ”

"One, if we can't plan ahead and find a way to get some new fighters in advance, then we will pay a greater price in the air. We also know that it is very difficult to talk to the Soviets about this at this time, but it is also a way to do it. ”

Liming's words fell, but Yang Zhen didn't answer him immediately. Instead, he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "It's good that you can have this idea of thinking more about the front, thinking more about how to deal with it, and not being caught off guard when the time comes." If you don't think of some ways in advance, you will always suffer a loss if you are cramming for a while. ”

"However, the method you are talking about, although it is indeed quite difficult to implement in the current situation. However, the solution is still thought of by people, and we also think that in the difficulties. If you don't want to try it, how do you know you can't solve it? ”

In this way, you will form a written report of this idea in the shortest possible time. I'm going to think about it, and as for whether I can achieve your wishes, then I really have to try. But I would like to remind you that, at least in the light of the current situation on the Soviet-German battlefield and the rather rigid relations between us and them, it is not very optimistic. ”

"At the same time, I would like to remind you of two things. At present, the Soviet industry is far from recovering, and there is a considerable gap in the craftsmanship of its new aircraft and prototypes, as well as those produced before the war. Because of the rush of production, most of the aircraft had much lower performance than the pre-war production. ”

"On paper, the performance may be able to compete with the Japanese aircraft. But when it comes to actual combat, it may not be as good as you think. And I have the feeling that the aircraft supplied by the USSR are unlikely to provide the kind of new fighters that Dawn said. It should be the older Lager Three or the Yak One, and these older fighters are the mainstay. ”

"The second point, you also need to think about it. Our air combat environment is different from that of the Soviet-German battlefield. When the Soviet side was studying weapons and equipment, it always used the sword to go to extremes. So their planes, in some ways, are really good. But maneuverability and on-board equipment have always been a mess. ”

"Don't think that the new Soviet aircraft can perform well on the Soviet-German battlefield, and just because it is suitable for our battlefield environment. You must be mentally prepared to deal with all kinds of problems that arise. I'm going to talk to the Soviets, but I don't know if I'll be able to get back the planes you want. ”

"But whether it can be done or not, you must not relax in your training, and you still have to do what you have to do. I'm afraid this batch of Hurricane fighters will be the only fighter jets we can get in the near future. You must build up combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and absolutely must not leave a gap in our air defense line for some reason. ”

"At the same time, the tactical confrontation drill must also continue. Through constant aerial confrontation drills, we can adjust our air combat tactics. In the case of poor aircraft performance, we should try our best to make up for the gap in the performance of our aircraft through tactical adjustments. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen sighed and said: "In fact, the root cause of this passive situation is still in ourselves. If we had a strong and developed aviation industry, there would be no such thing as being hungry today.

"So even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we have to create our own aviation industry. Find a way to source talent and create your own R&D organization. Relying on our own cultivation, this speed is too slow, not to mention, and it is easier for people to choke their necks. Don't say that he is just a colonel with a false name, as long as he has real talent and learning, we will recruit even generals. ”

In a word, as long as he has real talent, we must use it, and we must not only use it, but also use it well. That's the end of today's business, but I hope you will remember in the future that the competition for talent is the real destiny of our future. If we fail to take the initiative in this area, we will regret our choice today even more in the near future. ”

"With the gradual development of science and technology, the future war situation will become more complicated. The defense industry, which has only a basic foundation, cannot be exempted from beatings. You can only make backward products, you can't see people, you can't reach people, but people not only see you, but also can hit you, what's the use? ”

"In the development of the future, it is not just the tangible war, but the intangible things that really determine the fate. Invisible wars are even more terrifying. In the course of future military development, only those who can have more high-tech personnel and who can occupy the high-end in the high-tech field will be in a truly invincible situation. ”

"If you are backward, you will be beaten, and it will not be only for industry. The mode of warfare of the future is not only limited to the tangible, but also intangible. The development trend of the future world will not only be the competition for territory and the sea, but also the competition for talents. The comparison is not about who has more planes, artillery, and tanks, but the real contest is whose scientific and technological level is stronger. ”

"The core and root of competition in terms of scientific and technological level, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the competition for talents, because talent is really the foundation of all science and technology. Whoever occupies a high position in the competition for talents will be able to truly gain an advantage. As the Chairman said, no matter how advanced weapons and equipment are, it is people who play a decisive role. People can't do it, no matter how good the conditions and environment are, it's useless. ”
